Remember her? Vince Colosimo's ex-wife Jane Hall, 54, shows off her incredible figure in a bikini as she enjoys her new career
Australian actress Jane Hall is living her best life after staging a 'luxury escape' from the local media rat race. The former Neighbours star, 54, flaunted her trim pins as she luxuriated during a 'no filming afternoon' in Uluwatu, Bali. Jane, w ho separated from her ex-husband and Underbelly star Vince Colosimo in 2007, stripped down to a black bikini at the Six Senses Retreat Resort. 'No filming this arvo...' she captioned the poolside selfie, with her beach read snuggled into her chest while she took the picture. Jane has been exploring the finer things in life as a regular co-host of Luxury Escapes, alongside Melbourne chef Khanh Ong. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Captioning a vibrant video montage of the duo's visit to Bangkok last week, she wrote: 'I am VERY aware of how bloody lucky I am to do this job, year after year. Truly a career highlight. Especially this one! Back to reality now... Love from Jane X.' Jane has previously co-hosted episodes of Luxury Escapes: The World's Best Holidays with fellow Aussie chef Miguel Maestre, but teamed up with MasterChef alum Khanh, 31, on season five of the Foxtel series. 'Lucky to be sharing this experience with him!' she captioned a recent 'appreciation post' for her travel partner, whom she described as a: 'Fashionista. Prankster. Professional (and loads more that is not fit for Insta).' Other high-profile hosts of the envy-inspiring series include Cameron Daddo, Rebecca Gibney, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Holly Kingston, Neale Whitaker, Sophie Falkiner, and Shane Jolley. The mother-of-one kept her longtime fans up-to-date with her travels from Bali, to Bangkok, and beyond - after making another surprising career change. 'Back at it, guys. Uni means trains and study. If you're wondering where I've disappeared to…' Jane captioned a recent selfie. She has returned to study Midwifery – a career the multi-talented actress put on hold to star in the eighth and final season of Wentworth. Speaking to the Herald Sun in 2019, Jane revealed she had put her layperson ambitions on pause because she 'was a super fan' of the acclaimed Aussie prison drama. 'I had to get this role, I wanted so badly to be in Wentworth,' she said. 'I wrote, "Thank you for this job," on a piece of paper every day until I got it.' Jane, who played Rebecca Robinson for four years on popular soap Neighbours, had just finished placement at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne when she got the call up to play prison General Manager Anne Reynolds in the penultimate season. 'The adrenaline I feel in when I'm in a room when a woman is giving birth is not unlike what we experience when we're truly in the moment performing,' she explained. 'It requires a lot of passion and it's very joyful, just like acting.' Jane didn't step away from the small screen for long, as in 2024 she starred alongside Annette Bening, Sam Neill and Alison Brie in Peacock's Apples Never Fall. She also picked up a huge credit as the voice of Rusty's Mum in popular ABC Kids' series Bluey. Jane began her acting career in 1985 with a guest role in the television series The Henderson Kids. She then starred in Home And Away as Rebecca Nash before joining the cast of comedy series All Together Now playing Anna Sumner alongside Rebecca Gibney. Jane then joined Neighbours in 2007 and remained on the long running soap drama playing Rebecca Napier until the end of 2010. She met her husband Vince Colosimo in 1994 on the set of A Country Practice, but the pair separated in 2007 after 11 years together. Vince is best known for his portrayal of Alphonse Gangitano in the first Underbelly TV series and as Neville Bartos in the movie Chopper.

Former Chelsea star 'offers to pay for body of dancer who died after falling hundreds of feet down an Indonesian volcano back home to Brazil'
Former Chelsea striker Alexandre Pato has offered to pay the pay the bill to bring the body of a tourist who plunged down an Indonesian volcano home to Brazil after her family blasted authorities' 'botched' rescue. Rescuers removed the body of dancer Juliana Marins, 26, from the depths of Mount Rinjani on Lambok Island last week, after she slipped and slid hundreds of feet down the volcano during a hike four days prior. Search teams had said they faced challenges from bad weather and low visibility over the ensuing days, with Marins' family accusing rescuers of not doing enough to save her. The tragic saga has garnered widespread attention in her native Brazil and, according to reports, has caught the eye of former international Pato, who, after being moved upon learning of the BRL 100,000 (£13,000) cost to repatriate her body, has tried to contact Marins's father to pay the bill. According to National World, the 35-year-old - who addition to a short spell in west London also spent time in Europe with AC Milan and Villarreal - is still waiting for a reply. By the time she was found on Tuesday - after earlier drone footage appeared to show her alive and moving after the fall - it was too late. Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency defended itself from mounting criticism over the amount of time it took to save the life of Marins Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency appeared to distance itself from any culpability while sharing a series of photos on Instagram claiming to show first responders retrieving Marins' body 'Trekking to Mount Rinjani is an Extreme Tourism Sport,' a caption on one post read. 'Be respectful, understand limitations. When accident happend [sic], do not blame rescuers unless you have walked in their shoes!' The agency then deleted the post amid ongoing questions by Marins' family and criticism pouring in from around the globe. Her grieving loved ones announced last week that they would be 'seeking justice' after the tourist's death. 'Juliana suffered great negligence on the part of the rescue team,' her family said in a statement. 'If the team had reached her within the estimated time of 7 hours, Juliana would still be alive. 'Juliana deserved much more! Now we are going to seek justice for her, because that is what she deserves! Don't give up on Juliana!' The family's claim comes as observers, particularly those in Brazil, continued to flood the National Search and Rescue Agency's social media feeds with criticism. Marins' family had also slammed the lack of communication between Indonesian and Brazilian authorities, and questioned why Mount Rinjani National Park remained open to visitors during the search. Julian Marins graduated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with a degree in Advertising and Publicity and worked as a pole dancer According to Indonesian government data, eight people have died and 108 have suffered injuries while hiking in the Mount Rinjani region since 2020. Just last month, a Malaysian hiker reportedly died in fall on the mountain. Last Wednesday, a Brazilian geologist told CNN that the park should have been better prepared. Marins, who hailed from just outside Rio de Janeiro, had joined six tourists and a tour guide for the $150 excursion on the active volcano. She separated from the group due to fatigue and was left behind by the tour guide, her sister told Brazilian news magazine Fantastico. 'We found out about this after contacting people who work at the park,' Mariana said. 'Juliana was in this group, but she got very tired and asked to stop for a while. They kept going, and the guide didn't stay with her.' The guide, identified as Ali Musthofa, told Brazilian outlet O Globo that he never left Marins behind. 'Actually, I didn't leave her, but I waited three minutes in front of her. After about 15 or 30 minutes, Juliana didn't show up,' the 20-year-old said. 'I looked for her at the last resting place, but I couldn't find her. I told her I would wait for her ahead. I told her to rest. I realized [she had fallen] when I saw the light of a flashlight on a ravine about 150 meters deep and heard Juliana's voice calling for help. I told her I would help her. I tried desperately to tell Juliana to wait for help.' Musthofa said that he reported the accident to the tour agency he is employed by and told them to request emergency assistance. Italian tourist Federica Matricardi told Fantastico that she met Juliana last Friday and recalled how difficult it was to make it to the top of Mount Rinjai. The pair of solo travelers appeared together in a video just before Juliana fell, smiling and joking about the cloudy view.
